Jonathan Reynolds emphasized the need for a strategic approach to ensure that the path to net zero supports British industries, stating, "When this government says that decarbonisation must not mean deindustrialisation, we mean it... There is no route to net zero without backing British industries and workers." He cautioned that while the 2030 target for banning new petrol and diesel cars remains, practical support for the auto industry is crucial.
The government's commitment to reintroducing a ban on petrol and diesel cars by 2030 is firm, yet Reynolds highlighted the necessity of balancing environmental goals with the realities faced by car manufacturers, saying, "We are in no doubt at all about the global challenges the industry is facing and the need for us to play our part to support them." This reflects a growing recognition of the pressures on the automotive sector.
